Known as a mortgage visionary and industry activist, Paul Donohue was one of the early pioneers of strategic mortgage planning. As a master loan officer, Paul has personally originated more than 4,000 mortgage loan applications.

Paul started his career as a custom home builder, crafting unique architecture in Blacksburg, VA. He entered the mortgage industry in 1987 and founded MoneyNet Mortgage Planning Services in North Carolina in 1989.

Having managed hundreds of employees and having met a payroll for over 30 years, Paul knows first hand the importance of proper execution and how to inspire people to peak performance.

Teaching from a lifetime of accomplishment and personal experience, his purpose is to give the real estate finance industry the tools, skills and vision it needs to thrive in an ever changing marketplace. Paul's personal code of integrity and personal philosophy of reciprocity are woven throughout his teachings and storytelling.

Paul grew up in Buffalo, NY and as a young adventurer, spent three years traveling the country before settling in Southwest Virginia. Married since 1978, he and his wife Deonna have raised two sons, Austin and Francis. They are currently building and living on the horse farm of their dreams in Summerfield, just north of Greensboro, NC.
